Poaching chicken cutlets keeps them very soft and moist. They become the perfect foil for any sauce you choose. For this recipe, I chose to make a pure roasted pepper puree-just seasoned with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Capers and olives give it an extra flavor boost. This recipe is […]
I make Grilled Chicken, Peaches & Onion Salad with chicken I’ve marinated in mustard vinaigrette. I marinate tofu separately in another cup of vinaigrette. After I’ve grilled all the components, I arrange them over a mixed salad. The result is a very unusual special Summer dinner. Those of us without […]
These Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Spinach and Mushrooms look impressive; but are very easy to assemble.
